Question

i have created a My custom listActivty by extending ListActivity like this.

public class MainList extends ListActivity {

ListView listView;

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    listView = getListView();
    setContentView(R.layout.list_main);

   }

}

And declaring its xml like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent">

<ListView android:id="@id/android:list"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        >
</ListView>
<TextView android:id="@id/android:empty"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
        android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
        android:background="#FFFFFF"
        android:text="My Text"
/>

</LinearLayout>

i am using CursorAdapter as listActivity adapter.Its showing perfectly with MainList is empty.

My problem is that i want to show more than a textview when MainList is empty. Basically i need custom view(imageview,button etc) to be shown when list is empty.How should i do this.

Thanks

Answer 1

For the listview there is one default method to set empty view.

setEmptyView(view)

Try This…. In the place of view pass your custom view.

If you are not getting then tell me. I will post an example for this.
